A user-control I have written does not seem to function properly in the <EditItemTemplate> section of a DataList control. It functions fine outside of it.

I have followed the usual process of the using the @Register directive. I then add the tag as per usual, with declarative properties within the tag:

<adminnic:boolcontrol id="ext1" runat="server"
type="truefalse"
defaulttext="Joe"
value="1"
isvalid="true" />

Are there any other factors that I need to take into account in order for this control to work properly in the template of a DataList?

thanks

What do you mean by: "does not seem to function properly"?

Sorry about the vagueness.

The user controls are include a dropdowlist control and a validator control.
On rendering in the edit (in the <EditItemTemplate>) state in the datalist,
the user control displays the dropdownlist however it is empty, with none of
the list items. So none of its inherent logic which binds the dropdown to
data (a hashtable in this case) is working.

In design view of the datalist, the usercontrols are displaying normally.

Do I need to programmatically load these controls and add them to the
container DataList control. If so how do I do that, and how do I ensure they
fire only in the <EditItemTemplate> programmatically.

What other method should I use to load the control?

thanks
